Us versus second place on Sunday...

[Ccjambo1874]

Gordon

 

Sibbick

Souttar

Kingsley

 

Atkinson

Devlin/Mceneff

Haring

Beni

Cochrane

 

Simms

Boyce

 

Two strikers to occupy them and 3 working hard in the middle.

 

We need to use the 5 sub rule to our benefit. Burst a gut out wide and Smith or Halliday should have enough legs to come on if need be out wide for the last 30.

Morelos scores against us a lot. 

It'll he hard but it's pretty much a free hit against a team in disarray.

Go at them hard and quickly and who knows.

And Ryan Jack and I’m not sure they’re in disarray, I think that was their first defeat in 14 games.

[Bazzas right boot]

Yep exactly, that’s the blueprint.
 

We have the plans to the Death Star, let’s execute them

 

Its a simple template 

 

Now, about that £30m-£50m , could you transfer it now to the club please?

 

 

 

😂

If it's that easy why not copy man city's template. 

Why stop at celtic? 

 

Folk are ridiculous. 

[Archie White]

After last night's game they will be so up for this game against us it's untrue. We are on a free hit and never going to get near them for 2nd so let's just have a go at them at Ibrox for a change instead of sitting in and hoping for something to happen up front. We have nothing to lose. They have everything to lose. A quickfire start and it won't be long for their fans to turn. Grow Ibrox balls for a change Robbie and get at them from the off.

[Stu_HMFC]

Need to go out and try and attack what's there to loose its a free hit? Hibs are not going to catch us for 3rd and Celtic are away to Motherwell so we wont be loosing any ground to Motherwell over the weekend. 

 

Is Halks Smith and Souttar all going to be out for Sunday ? 

[Libertarian]

Sevco are gambling on getting into the Champions League next season in order to try to balance the books. I don't think that we will catch them and beat them to 2nd place but if we did not only would it be brilliant but the house of cards at Ibrox will begin to unravel even more quickly than it already will if they don't win the league. I can't stand either of the OF but Rangers will have to start repaying their debt sooner or later and a weakened Rangers allows Hearts a better chance of not only 2nd place in the league but a better chance of winning the league within the next 5 years.

[jambopilms]

We just have to play like Celtic do, FFS. While we are at it why don't we just play like Liverpool and Man City do.

I see this place is gearing itself up for a Robbie bashing on Sunday night. Nevermind the fact we have matched them both better this season than for many many years and so far avoided the ritual 3 or 4 nil humping. They haven't been beaten at home for years and we have already got an unexpected draw from them.

He just needs to go for it for once blah blah blah. They are shit and there for the taking blah blah. Celtic beat them so why can't we blah blah.

Nothing to lose apart from the game being over after ten mins because we left ourselves short at the back trying to "go for it"

So set up and sit for the 0.0 or a breakaway goal. They will then break us down and score and it will be the same appearance at Ibrox we give.

Anything we take off them at Ibrox is usually a bonus, but 6 goals conceded in 3 halves of football suggests we should attack them from the first whistle.

They've got Hibs up next, and their 2nd position doesn't look done and dusted.

Last minute Souttar goal for the three points....!

 

It'll never happen. We'll set up to contain and frustrate them and get scudded.

 

Not Neilson bashing, it's just what we do.

Robbie will have us starting on the back foot and we’ll concede a couple by HT. We’ll improve second half but leave ourselves too much to do. Seen this movie before unfortunately.

Does the fact that this movie has been showing since long before Robbie was even born not suggest it is not just down to our current manager ?

Until we can shop in the market as the OF positive results against them will continue to be very rare occurrences. 

The manager needs the tools for the job. 

At present we are like a Yorkshire Terrier taking on a Rottweiler. 

[Bull's-eye]

Need to attack them in the tunnel. Get in first. 

 

Sadly we all know Nilsun will be putting them down for a nap until 25 minutes into the game and we're 5 nil down before he releases the chains and they wake up. I reckon he puts something in their tea.

 

Attack attack attack attack attack

[Locky]

Sorry, but I fear a backlash from that. This is still a very strong Rangers team and they will be fuming about the last 2 matches. Reckon they'll come out fired up on Sunday and boss the game, its really all about us shutting them out and nicking what we can. 

[campbell]

Maybe I’m suffering from short term memory loss & will be painfully reminded of our failings in Glasgow come full time but I just feel something different this time we lost 1-0 to an offside goal at Celtic & we drew last time at Ibroxs, the two home defeats we were in both matches & on another days could have nicked something & then there is the win on the opening day! I can’t remember a season when we’ve played them that many times & not been scudded at least once! If we click on Sunday we have a great chance. Conceded the least amount of goals away from home in the league so we don’t concede many, just need to have a strong team & maybe souttar back would help but then I’m 50/50 on playing him 

[Walter Bishop]

We have to start with 3 in midfield. Devlin, Haring and Beningime. Leave out Moore and go 4-3-3

It's almost like they are a better team than us and likely to win no matter how we play or what formation.

[A_A wehatethehibs]

Unfortunately it’ll probably be just like when we got beat off Celtic and responded with a routine 2-0 win against Motherwell 

 

Rangers will likely react and beat us in pretty routine fashion. 
 

It would however, be extremely pleasing to be the team that really sets the alarm bells ringing for them. For us there’s absolutely zero pressure or expectations, just go out, have a go, cut out these first half gifts we seem to keep giving the OF and enjoy the game. The longer it’s 0-0 the better it gets for us as the crowd will get agitated. Then late in the game Ellis Simms could slot one in like Osman Sow 

 

They’ve got the better players and they’ve splashed the cash gambling on champions league, but they failed to splash it on the Center Back they need, we’ve still got him because of their tin pot bids. So all emphasis and pressure is on them.

**** all this negative pish. We are in great shape to go an give them a game and it’ll be no where near as routine as some folk are saying. 
 

This isn’t the same Hearts that just roll over to the old firm. We haven’t all season and certainly won’t this time. I am predicting a 0-1 win for us.

This, we have progressed big time but we are slow to start coupled with our usual lacklustre displays in Glasgow I expect nothing but a comfortable homewin, hope I’m wrong.

Score draw. Big Simms to score.

Really like the look of him , hes imo what weve been missing. I think if wed had him rather than Gnando first half of the season we’d be a good 6/7 points better off at worst. Bit of luck he could have had a derby debut up there with De Vries on Tuesday.

 

I like Boyce dropping deeper with Simms in front and McKay although I do think McKay was unable to get on the ball and do much Tuesday. Sunday that set up could work.
 

Kent was poor again last night but always seems to get too much respect and time against us. Celtic hunted in packs last night (everytime Kent , Kamara or Aribo got the ball there was two or three on them) and it showed as they were done by 60mins again. Difference is they have the clinical edge no other team up here does so using the Celtic template as some have suggested is just lunacy. 

[Jambos1983]

We'll go there get everyone behind the ball and somehow be surprised we're behind at halftime. 

[Tennant's 6's]

Assumimg that robbie doesn't change to a 433/451, I'd prob tweak the 343 to 3412, with devlin pushed a bit further forward to disrupt them building out from the back & to harrass their central midfielders.

Would bring on McEneff ahead of woodburn & GMS

[Pasquale for King]

I think he might go to a four again if Souttar is fit to match up against them, as he did at Tynecastle. 
Let’s start a bit better and keep the ball on that big pitch, maybe play Ginnelly as an out ball over the top. 
They will be up for it after last night and getting their horrible fans on their back early doors would be great.

If Souttar is fit they won't play him out of respect to the pre contract 😂 Like the no show in the Scottish cup game, Ankle injury my arse

Usually I would agree but surely he would’ve played against Hibs if he didn’t have the injury 🤔? 
I wasn’t sure about playing him against them but I think he’s shown he’s not downed tools, the stinking Tory Hun Rat 😱😜.

[poultry]

Remember we have a ref and 2 linesmen to defeat also. No easy task in Scottish football.

I don’t think he’ll change it, if he does then the out ball is now Simms? I think he’ll drop Halliday for Cochrane and he may go Beni Harring and Devlin with Boyce as the 10.

[Deevers]

Collum in charge on Sunday. He’ll be desperately trying to show that despite  everything he’s not anti Rangers. I expect a host of questionable decisions to go their way. A soft penalty awarded  against us and one of our to be shown a red.

Wait and see, he’s played a four against the uglies in the last three games. 
Halliday definitely needs dropped, LWB a bit of a problem now as neither of the options are great. Maybe another reason to play a four with a winger helping to defend.

You're right, it's been a long-running movie. 

 

Given how many times we've all seen it, it would be nice if we tried a different approach every now and again.

Historically Rangers/Celtic nearly always bounce right back after having received a doing, to beat whichever domestic team they play next pretty badly. If we start poorly and play our usual away from home first half stuff, then we could get a wee bit of a pasting, so RN needs to be astute with his gameplan here (needs to be changed) and we need to be at the races from the off !!! Get the first goal and their fans will turn on them. And find a place for Haring

1 - 0 Hearts, Gordon to play an absolute blinder and make saves he has absolutely no right to. Simms to score within the first 20 minutes followed by 70 minutes of heart in mouth stuff.

 

If the above is the case, thank **** I'm working and can't watch.
